Dialogue

Managingway: Greetings, <name>. I was just thinking about how important this endeavor of ours truly is. You see, one of our fellow Ways was recently inspired to pursue a dream of their own -- one they never would have discovered if not for Cookingway's example.

Managingway: In the end, that's what all of this is about -- helping one another find and pursue our individual dreams. Alas, our friend was out in the midst of this pursuit, foraging for culinary ingredients, when their tools broke.

Managingway: I hate to impose, but since they refuse to return, it would do much to ease our concern if someone like you -- a person well accustomed to voyages on the moon's surface -- were to search for our willful friend and help them repair their equipment. You'll do it, won't you?

On the moon surface

Foraging Loporrit: Curse those mushrooms and their sturdy stems! I was just trying to get some samples and now my equipment is buggered to the star and back! ...Managingway did send you, didn't they? I would hate to have done all this ranting at some random passerby.

If Blacksmith, Armorer or Goldsmith
- Foraging Loporrit: Anyway, do you think you could make a blade sharp enough to cut through hardy fungi with these steel components? No need to worry about running out of materials -- the supporter I brought along has plenty more where that came from!
If Carpenter, Leatherworker or Weaver
- Foraging Loporrit: Anyway, after nearly losing a paw from my blade rebounding off of those infernal fungi, a nonslip handle has quickly risen to the top of my priorities. Would you be able to make one with these materials? The supporter I brought along has plenty more where that came from, should you need it!
If Alchemist or Culinarian
- Foraging Loporrit: Anyway, I can't have my tool jamming on me again. Do you think you could prepare some oil with these materials so I can ensure the blade is in perfect form? The supporter I brought along has plenty more where that came from, should you need it!

Foraging Loporrit: When you've finished, please hand the item here so I can complete the repairs. I'm not leaving until I've cut out every last tasty ilm of those mushrooms!

Foraging Loporrit: Finished, have you? Well...have you?

Foraging Loporrit: This is perfect! Once I've installed it into my equipment, I should have no problem collecting samples of those deceptively firm fungi! And when I have...I shall make a dish the likes of which Cookingway himself has never even dreamed of making!

Foraging Loporrit: Ahem. Well, I'm going to go chop up some mushrooms. You should head back and let Managingway know everything here is just fine. This...might take a while.

At Hoper's Hold

Managingway: Welcome back! I take it our foraging friend is okay?

Managingway: I neglected to mention this earlier, but their dream is to cook undiscovered species of fungi, and enjoy the twofold thrills of exterminating harmful types of mushrooms whilst simultaneously discovering delectable new ones. And, as I understand, mushroom cuisine is also rather popular on Etheirys.

Managingway: Whether they produce a new mouthwatering recipe, or eradicate harmful fungi species first.. I suppose we can't complain either way!
